The UW invests the endowment money and provides a 4% annual return that will help fund:

The expansion of student group activities, such as professional development, educational programs, and networking opportunities

Improved outreach programs at local K-12 schools and community colleges

Participation in national industrial engineering conferences, competitions, and events

And much more!

How will the funds be administered?
